Brian Neil "Cra Dog" Cralle, of Elizabethtown, Kentucky, died unexpectedly on July 30, 2023 at Baptist East Hospital in Louisville Kentucky. Brian was only 56 years old. The family is deeply saddened and shocked by his sudden death. Brian was born on June 15, 1967, attended Elizabethtown High School, was a 1985 graduate, and earned a full football scholarship to University of Kentucky as an All Star Center. He went to be a Teacher and Football coach at Fayette County High School in Lexington Kentucky, Murrieta High School in Murrieta California then he moved back to Kentucky to teach & coach at Hardin County High School, Radcliff Kentucky. Brian took complete pride and enjoyed coaching his "boys". He was so proud of them and wanted them to give their all when on the field. He was able to share his love of the sport to many and help many grow as a player. He always enjoyed working with students and seeing them turn into caring and contributing adults. Everyone who knew Brian knew how he was a giant teddy bear, had a huge heart, big smile with bright blue eyes, loved to laugh, and was a bit sarcastic and knew how to comfort you with a huge hug or the right words that you needed to hear. Brian was full of traits that were obvious to all after even just a single meeting. Brian is survived by his mother Karin J. Cralle Turner, Charlie Turner - spouse, his father is the deceased James E. (J.E) Cralle and an abundance of family & friends. We will miss Brian "Craw Dog" more than words can say.
